    I had a semi-tame blackbird in my Nan's garden that lived to 6 years old, he used to visit everyday but only recently vanished last month. Not record breaking but above average.

      Oh,I will ! Thank you ! I keep my eyes on the sky.
      I saw a bald eagle flying over us while out walking my dog last week. Also, the red wing black birds were in a cluster of trees singing . Beautiful melody.

      Thank you, I am sure there are unringed birds who have lived longer as well, but it would be impossible to know for sure.

    Love your channel. Bird mad myself. I see Choughs regularly here in the West of Ireland. I have a new visitor at my birdfeeder. A male blackcap. Not ever seen one here before in 25 years. I was so chuffed. I hope our local sparrowhawk doesn't get him..
    Happy Christmas to you and yours❤

    Thank for the video Liam, it’s surprising just how long wild birds can live. We have a carrion crow with a damaged wing (it can’t fold it properly) which has been around our neighbourhood for at least 7 years now, successfully raising a brood every year.

    Great info Liam. Of course I’d be interested in a video of you searching for the ringed Avocet. I’m also excited to hear about you doing more on the Bearded Tit. Does that mean you’re heading to the Tay Reed Beds in Scotland? Or will you be doing the filming research down south? It would be amazing if you were coming to Scotland. Anyway, great video mate and merry Christmas 👍🏻
